He just quote you that wait for the new release; issue will be fixed on the next version. It's not a dude attitude... it's just we answer you 3 times and quote the reply has the answer you missed.

You just made a mistake, it's happen to all of us, it's why we are called humans. lol :rolleyes:

I just do not understand what this is all about. yes, the quote said wait for new version, it also said "or use COPY STREAM.". Key word is "or". I get the fact that the new version will fix it, I replied to the copy stream portion. That isn't an option, or, if it is, then I am not seeing it, and am simply asking for guidance.

If, however, the copy stream is not an option, nor will it fix any issue, then please just say "copy stream won't work, regardless of what was posted". Or, if it will, then tell me how it will.

Bottom line, i get a new version will fix the issue. From what I am understanding, the copy stream portion either was misposted, will fix the issue but I need guidance on how to do it, or, say that copy stream will not fix it and that I flat out have to wait for a new version, and I will ignore that portion of the post all together.

New installer just released. Sorry for the delay. I added a couple of things to this one. mainly a sub-folder in the start menu that gives access to tools not readily available because of location in the program files folder. I might be adding a shell that gives access to all the command line tools later but for now this should do... Enjoy... Oh yeah also includes a stable build of AVISynth MT...

PS Check my signature for the link...

that's the option i use to dump to a single 6-8 channel wav file but i still have to use eac3to with this command (eac3to.exe "x:\a\a.w64" "x:\a\6channel.wavs") yes wavs which outputs an independent wav for each channel. 6channel.L.wav, 6channel.C.wav, 6channel.R.wav and so on. it would be awesome if you could add an option to have ripbot264 do this so i cant cut out the extra conversion step. thanks again.

Hi Atak_Snajpera!

Thx for your wonderful work once again! :)

Could I ask of you if you would mind adding the possibility to keep the DTS-MA (HD) or TrueHD track in the complete rip as of choice? As u now can with the other sounds like DTS and so on?
Or even better to have thoose above and also have DTS or AC3 in the same release, I mean in the end, like DTS-HD set to "Default Track Flag: Yes" and on the same ouput "Default Track Flag: Default", that would set DTS-HD as the first to play! :)
Since as of now I allways have to mux that one back to get a complete release!
One more thing... could u make the list of subtitles "strechable" so one can see more of the subtiltles added and for easyer overview for us to sort them ? ;)

Hi Atak_Snajpera.
Recently I came cross two problems with encoding audio, RipBot264 just hanged during the audio processing. IMO problem was that both audio were 96kHz. I encoded audio directly in eac3to with no issues, both from direct audio source and from PCM file. Regards. Marek

Hi. I was told to use Ripbot for what I want to do but don't see how. I have some 720p .mkv movies that are 6 to 8 meg and I want to resize them down to 4.37 to fit on 1 dvd-r. Will Ripbot do this and if so can someone tell me what I need to do please? I went thru all the settings and didn't see any option for file size output. Or should I be using something else for this. I tried Handbrake but after the convertions, the .srt subtitles are out of sinc and I can't get them back in sinc. Maybe I'm not doing correctly. I'm a noob at all of this still. Thanks.

Please,

The RipBot v1.16.4 not recognize the audio on some containers MKV with AC3 audio when I select the output MP4 or MKV.
When he recognizes the AC3 audio from a MKV, the synchronization does not work well while converting to AAC in a container of MP4.
I use o Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Excellent software. Congratulations!

Is it normal that my colection of harry potter are between 5000kbps and 7000kbps video? Ive encoded them all at CRF 18. The output size are like 6gig for 1080p movies. All my other movies are like 10mbps and around 10-16gigs.

@alpine_92, I've also noticed that with the recent x264 builds.

Atak_Snajpera
9th February 2011, 21:36
r1867
VFR/framerate-aware ratecontrol, part 2
MB-tree and qcomp complexity estimation now consider the duration of a frame in their calculations.
This is very important for visual optimizations, as frames that last longer are inherently more important quality-wise.
Improves VFR-aware PSNR as much as 1-2db on extreme test cases, ~0.5db on more ordinary VFR clips (e.g. deduped anime episodes).

WARNING: This change redefines x264's internal quality measurement.
x264 will now scale its quality based on the framerate of the video due to the aforementioned frame duration logic.
That is, --crf X will give lower quality per frame for a 60fps video than for a 30fps one.
This will make --crf closer to constant perceptual quality than previously.
The "center" for this change is 25fps: that is, videos lower than 25fps will go up in quality at the same CRF and videos above will go down.
This choice is completely arbitrary.

Note that to take full advantage of this, x264 must encode your video at the correct framerate, with the correct timestamps.

you can't simultaneously specify kbps and lock size (it's either one of the other)

Thank you again, pacaveli211. I thought so, just thought I'd ask to be sure. I hope they come out better using this instead of handbrake. Thanks again for your help.

pacaveli211
10th February 2011, 03:33
doesn't handbrake use x264 as well?
if so then they're not really going to come out any better (quality wise) being that they're encoded using the same thing
it's just about setting the correct x264 options and ease of application use =)

CrazyBricker
10th February 2011, 04:39
Yes, Handbrake uses x264. What I mean by better is the subtitles being in sync after I make them smaller in size. The quality was fine, just the subtitles were not. I left the default settings and only changed the filesize. Hopefully, that's all I need to do. Or do I need to adjust the frames and other things? I opened the .mkv with MediaInfo and it shows the encoding settings. Should I be trying to match the encoding settings in Ripbot or Handbrake? Thanks.

I just started 2 and am going to crash. I'll know how it goes when I wake up.

EDIT: So far so good. Have 1 done and it looks great and subtitles still in sinc. Awesome! Thank you again! :D Next one goes from 1080p to 720p.

10th February 2011, 10:13
@ alpine_92:

1) CRF is a rather constant rate between an "optimal" quality and a desired quality. If one movie is very easy to compress (e.g. little motion, little sharpness), it needs less bitrate to preserve a given fraction of the "optimal" video quality because already the optimum needs less bitrate. More motion and more details (sharpness) need more bitrate to be preserved good enough.

2) The definition of the optimum and its fraction changed in the latest x264 versions supporting variable framerates. They now depend on the framerate.

Hi,

I just wrote a guide for Ripbot and converting a Blu-ray to MKV here:
http://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/blu-ray-rip/252-rip-blu-ray-to-mkv

It clears some questions, but still I have some issues, for example why can't I get a COPY STREAM option when the Blu-ray audio is DTS?

If you have any suggestions please PM me.

If this seems spam-ish please delete it.
:thanks:

I can't say I've ever seen a bluray with just DTS, so I'll assume you mean DTS-HDMA or DTS-HDHR. in which case you'll need to make sure you're choosing the 'core' option.

I'll try later and update the guide. However these options should be explained in the GUI. You don't know that you have to choose core for DTS or that FLAC doesn't work the same as WAV. And testing in order to find out takes a lot of time.

eh, it's a free app man. and the options (at least these that we're talkin about) are kinda self explanatory...
wav decodes / decompresses the audio to wav
flac encodes it to flac
core extracts the core

there's always google if you don't understand what things are / what they mean

Of course they are, I am not saying otherwise. However you cannot guess how each option will affect the options you have at the next step. A tooltip would be nice.

Have been using stuff like AsxGui etc, was wondering what ripbot was like, for example_
1: can my customize my own output profile and save It?

2: does this rely on stuff allready installed in PC or is all the codecs etc all self contained within ripbot?

3: will this convert from a dts-ma entire source or just the dts-core?

Thanks.

1. yes you can manually specify any x264 switches and save them. each profile has a corresponding text file...or you can edit the profile in ripbot itself

2. yes you must install / have things: ffdshow, avisynth, haali, Java

3. you can do either

Hi

I've been using Ripbot 1.16.3 for a while now and have switched to 1.16.4. I have noticed that MP4box isn't addressing files over 2Gb. Then I compared the two versions and realized that 1.16.3 has the gpac patch and another dll library and that isn't included in 1.16.4. Although the newer version of mp4box is significantly bigger. Maybe the dynamic library and patch are included but isn't working? Anyone else having this problem?

I was also wondering if someone could tell me the difference between the three audio options; wave, flac and core. Is core, the 1.5mb/s, 5.1 core version of TrueHD. It sounds like wave rips a separate wave file for each audio channel. And flac, well, flac is lossless and sounds like it compresses better. I have a nice home theater setup at home and would like to have the best possible audio, whether that be Dolby-THD or DTS MA. But it doesn't seem like Ripbot supports that currently.

So I'm wondering which option is better, and is it possible to keep the original best audio track. An hour episode on blu ray is like 9Gb with a crf of 20. The audio track is about 200Mb for ac3. I'd rather keep the best track possible. Thanks.

dude, the audio options were just discussed. while you obviously can't be expected to go through 455 pages of posts you could try checking the page you're on / the one before it.
fyi TrueHD does not have a 1.5mbps core, it (generally) has a 640kbps core. DTS-HD HR/MA will (once again, generally) have a 1.5mbps core. Lossless and compression do not simultaneously coincide. with compression is quality loss, even if in negligible or minimal amounts. Depending on your home theater setup you probably can't play FLAC...unless you have something like a WDTV / HTPC / some other media player. RipBot doesn't support HD audio stream copying, if you want to keep them just mux them in after encoding.

11th February 2011, 21:13
OK, so just as a rough guide aac audio @ 128kbps@=approximately same as mp3 @240kbps.

Any1 here got bit-rate Vs quality with aac vs flac, or flac vs Lpcm, ogg... etc.

Also, in AC3. ..... ac3 is the container but what is the audio codec/whatever inside?

pacaveli211: thanks for the reply. Sorry about the double post, I guess I didn't refresh the page since yesterday. I'm actually using an Apple TV2 and streaming from my server. I've tested a few encoded MP4's with the flac option and it seems to work fine.
I was going to start ripping to MKV and I see the option for copy stream. Is this the same as tsmuxing the HD track (DTS-MA or Dolby THD), then mkvmerge'ing the the audio to the encoded video?

ripbot doesn't support copying HD audio (excluding the exception someone found the other day in which it'll copy DTS-HDMA from an mkv). so if you're seeing 'copy stream' it's just referring to the core or whatever is in the job folder

Hey. Does RipBot convert TrueHD to AC3 when encoding a movie? For example: I added transformers and now demuxing audio streams. When its done, it reads the video, but it says no audio. Any sugestion?

12th February 2011, 15:37
erm, ok....Ripbot looking ok for now, I did notice that when trying to select flac as audio i got an error from eac3to saying that MSVCP71.dll was missing

i found that dll on google, BUT it wont play ball
i know the process of what i`m doing is ok, as i re-registered an existing .dll that was allready there.

I assume i`ve got the wrong type of dll ?


I have Win7 Home Premium 64Bit

so do i look for a 32bit/64bit dll ?
also there seems to be .com + .net types too.......confused ! LOL

any1 got a link to a GOOD dll ? (since theres bound to be ppl here run into the same issue)

yes you need to change the path if you want to register the file in wow64 as well.

well I dunno....do you have x86 or x64 windows.....
64bit... i put up on original post earlier

[/QUOTE]...blah
yes you need to change the path if you want to register the file in wow64 as well.[/QUOTE]

erm ok, tried this, but i`m crap with cmd :(
I tried C: \
C: \>Windows\sysWOW64>regsvr32 msvcp71.dll = "invalid syntax crap"

also
C: \>Windows\sysWOW64>regsvr msvcp71.dll = "invalid syntax crap"

[/QUOTE]also...if you're getting an error that "MSVCP71.dll was missing"
you might want to be doing such things with MSVCP71.dll, not MSVCP.dll[/QUOTE]

my bad...typo

There's a problem with RB264 1.16.4 latest version here :(

I'm using Win 7 + KIS 2011 and my lappy tells that there are 3 viruses HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic in .7z file. The problem that I haven't seen before :(

What's wrong with this upgrade version ?

Could anyone tells me how to do right now :((

Thanks again, pacaveli211. I just redone a few movies that had the subtitles out of sync which were done with Handbrake and they are perfect now. RipBot is a better program for what I need to do. It does take longer to convert them but oh well. Atleast now I don't have to worry about the subtitles being out of sync any more. :)

According to this:
http://www.dts.com/DownloadDocument.aspx?q=a7beda1e-cfe6-4ca4-b6b2-cda9554bb6a5

DTS Core is the "legacy" audio provided for systems that do not support the Extension. In older systems, you just listen to the Core. In modern systems, the decoder takes the core (lossy), then compares the data with the Extension (lossless) and applies the extra data that needs to be played and are lost in the core to deliver the best possible audio experience.

Bottom line, if you don't have a decoder that support DTS-HD (and I mean a hardware one), just using the Core option to demux and then copy stream, you will hear the exact same sound you would hear by demuxing the DTS-HD channel and mux it in the mkv yourself. Minus about 1GB of audio data.

So unless you have a home theater equipment (decoder) that supports it, just copy the Core.

Hey DJ-1

I had that msvcp71.dll problem too. The way I fixed it was I just moved the downloaded .dll to windows\system32. Ripbot also complained about a msvcr71.dll file too. I downloaded and moved it there too and haven't had a problem since.

So if I do have a receiver that decodes DTS-MA and Dolby-THD, I need to manually demux the m2ts, have ripbot encode the video (without audio) and then use mkvmerge to join the 'raw' audio and the encoded video together, to get the full audio experience? Hmm... doesn't sound too bad, just an extra two steps.

my statement about x64 was rhetorical, even though you posted earlier...it's quite obvious you have x64 since you have a wow64 folder =P
I dunno exactly what you're putting into command prompt but try this: regsvr32 C:\Windows\sysWOW64\msvcp71.dll
I dunno if you actually need to register the file so much as just making sure it's there:

if you have x64 windows make sure x64 x264 is enabled, that'll make it go a bit faster.

yes, just manually demux / remux it back in
if your source is true bluray you should get used to scanning with bdinfo / and demuxing using the playlist via eac3to
this is sometimes necessary because of multi m2ts/branched movies and audio overlaps

No kiddin'? Yes, I have Window 7 Ultimate 64bit. How do I enable that? I just looked thru the settings and I don't see it anywhere. Thanks, that would help.
